Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The success of their plot is also in jeopardy because Macbeth has brought the daggers with him. Lady Macbeth returns to the scene of the murder in order to place the daggers and to smear the king’s sleeping servants with blood, a deed that presents her with none of the horror that now affects Macbeth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth dismisses his fears and sees that he has brought the guards’ daggers with him, rather than planting them at the scene of the crime. She tells him to return the daggers but he refuses and Lady Macbeth goes instead.

Detailed explanation-3: -She tells Macbeth that once Duncan is asleep, she’ll get his servants so drunk that they pass out. Then she and Macbeth can kill Duncan and blame his servants for the killing. Lady Macbeth’s plan is good enough to convince Macbeth to change his mind and agree to kill Duncan.

Detailed explanation-4: -He has placed all faith in them: he ignores attacks because he makes himself believe that he is safe.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enter Lady Macbeth.-Lady Macbeth waits for Macbeth to come with the news that he has killed the King. Enter Macbeth.-Macbeth announces that he has done the deed, but he is so shaken by the murder that he brings the bloody daggers with him, and Lady Macbeth takes them from him, to place them with the sleeping grooms.
